Bumpy Knuckles and Premier want to punch you in the face 10 times. RAP. Peace to Primo’s naval digi field shirt. Off of their upcoming project, KoleXXXion…out next week (3/27/12).

“We Are At War” (Produced by DJ Premier

Bonus: Rapper Nas jumps into the trench. Not to sure about that hook though, to be honest.

DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles “Turn Up The Mic Remix” (Feat. Nas, Produced by DJ Premier)

Nas returns and seems to be maintaining his recently re-discovered youthful rhyme energy. This one might just be the one to ring off in venues that feature overpriced bottles of liquor…thanks to the combo of reggae vocal loop and drum shuffle-rhythmics. One thing I don’t understand: how did this take three people to produce? Did Heavy D say, “Use this part of the reggae record,” while Salaam Remi chose the drums and Da Internz manned the sound efx?
